China: China intends to stop the production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) 32.5 grade cement. Liu Ming, an official of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), made the comment at a forum according to the Xinhua news agency.
Stopping production of OPC 32.5 grade cement would reduce the country's total cement output by 340Mt/yr, accounting for 11% of the total output. The large amount of OPC 32.5 grade cement had led the overcapacity of the cement industry.
